Guidelines

Important ! Please Read Completely Before Beginning Installation. According to a report published by the U. S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (C.P.S.C.) 72% of all playground injuries result from accidental falls. With this in mind, this equipment is designed to fill the need for safe yet challenging play. In conjunction with design efforts to reduce the possibilities of injuries, this equipment must be installed "Step by Step" per our installation instructions. As a new owner you are responsible for the correct installation, safe use, and maintenance of your equipment.

Installation Guidelines• Identify all parts and thoroughly read the assembly instructions before beginning construction.

• Refer to your playground equipment plan and footing diagram to assure the equipment purchased will fit into your selected site area. The use and no-encroachment zones around the play equipment shall be obstacle-free areas designated for unrestricted circulation.

• ASTM compliance: The overall use zone measurements for stationary play equipment should extend a minimum of 72 inches (1829 mm) from its perimeter; dimensions and configuration of the use zone are dependent upon the types of included play equipment. The use zone of stationary play equipment may be overlapped by the use zone of adjacent stationary play equipment if the adjacent designated play surfaces are no greater than 30 inches (762 mm) above the protective surfacing level. They should be a minimum of 72 inches (1829 mm) apart. If the adjacent designated play surfaces are greater than 30 inches (762 mm) above the protective surfacing level, the pieces of equipment should be a minimum of 108 inches (2743 mm) apart.

• CSA compliance: The overall use zone measurements for stationary play equipment should extend a minimum of 1800 mm from its perimeter; dimensions and configuration of the use zone are dependent upon the types of included play equipment. The use zone of stationary play equipment may be overlapped by the use zone of adjacent stationary play equipment if the adjacent designated play surfaces are no greater than 700 mm above the protective surfacing level. They should be a minimum of 1800 mm apart.

• EN compliance: The overall use zone measurements for stationary play equipment are dependent upon the fall height of the equipment. For a fall height exceeding 1500 mm a formula is applied to determine the use zone (impact zone) of the equipment. There is a minimum of 1500 mm from its perimeter; dimensions and configuration of the use zone are dependent upon the types of included play equipment. Refer to the Use Zone diagram or master structure drawing.

• Site layout is a critical part of the overall installation. Footings must be measured and marked accurately according to the footing diagram. A level and clear installation site is ideal.

• Good drainage around the structure and its supports is important. Inquire with local contractors for appropriate recommendations.

• After laying out all footings and before digging holes, be sure to inquire about underground utilities that may exist.

• Do not leave the job site unattended without making sure that all fastening hardware on all components are tightened according to tightening torque specifications listed on every installation guide. We also recommend roping off construction area and covering all holes that do not contain a piece of equipment with plywood or other suitable material.

• Excavate holes as shown in the footing detail. If a level and clear site cannot be obtained, adjust the depth of footing to maintain a level footing base. If soil conditions are loose or unstable, a larger diameter footing may be required. Inquire with local contractors for appropriate recommendations. Be sure concrete that might have splashed onto the unit is washed off before it dries. Allow concrete to harden 72 hours before allowing your structure to be used. Assemble the entire structure before pouring concrete unless specifically instructed to do so in the installation instructions.

• Insure that Age Appropriate and Hard Surface Warning/Playworld Systems identification labels are properly affixed to the play equipment. Labels are to be plainly visible according to current playground equipment guidelines.


• IMPORTANT! Because accidental falls around your playground equipment can occur, Playworld Systems recommends that the area under and around the structure be covered with a resilient material such as sand, bark mulch, or wood chips. If loose fill surfacing materials are used, Playworld Systems recommends a depth of 12 in. (305 mm). An approved rubber safety matting can also be used. Many protective surfacing materials can become compacted due to weather and use, which reduces their shock absorbency. It is strongly recommended that the surfacing be checked weekly and material added or replaced as necessary. Hard surfaces, such as asphalt, concrete and packed earth are not acceptable for use under playground equipment.

• The entire area, under and around the playground equipment, must be covered with protective surfacing material. The impact attenuation of the protective surfacing under and around playground equipment should be rated to have a critical height value of at least the height of the highest accessible part of the equipment. The critical height for surfacing is to be rated in accordance with A.S.T.M. standard, designated F1292, A Standard Specification for Impact Attenuation of Surface Systems Under and Around Playground Equipment. Critical fall heights for Europe and Canadian compliance shall be listed on the elevation page or master structure drawing if they differ from the ASTM standard. Contact the manufacturer of unitary surfacing materials (rubber matting) for the critical height rating for their products.

Tools Required: Playworld Systems supplies a service kit that contains commonly used hex key wrenches required to assemble your equipment. You may also need: shovel, digging iron, post hole digger, steel rake, wheelbarrow, garden hoe, water hose, tape measure, level, alignment tool, 3/8" ratchet with 9/16" socket, and 9/16" combination wrench.

Maintenance• Inadequate maintenance of equipment has resulted in injuries on the playground. Because the safety of playground equipment and its stability depends on good inspection and maintenance, a comprehensive maintenance program must be developed for each playground and strictly followed. All equipment must be inspected frequently for any potential hazards. Special attention must to be given to moving parts and other components that can be expected to wear. Inspections must to be carried out in a systematic manner by trained personnel. Any damaged or worn parts, or any other hazards identified during inspections must be repaired or replaced immediately. Complete documentation of all maintenance inspections and repairs must be retained.

Supervision Guidelines• Playworld Systems strongly recommends close supervision of the children as they play as well as intensive classroom and home instruction about safe behavior on playground equipment.

• Playground supervisors should be aware that not all playground equipment is appropriate for all children who may use the playground. Signs should be posted near the equipment indicating the recommended age of the users. Supervisors should direct children to equipment appropriate for their age.

• It is important that playground supervisors recognize that preschool-age children require more attentive supervision on playgrounds than older children.

• Do not permit the use of wet playground equipment. Wet equipment will inhibit necessary traction and gripping capabilities. Slips or falls could occur.

• Do not permit too many children on the same piece of equipment at the same time. It is suggested that children take turns.

• Constantly observe play patterns to discover possible hazardous play and suggest changes in equipment use or play patterns.

FOOTING NOTES (IN GROUND)• Support post footing depth equals 42 in. (1067 mm) minus the depth of the

protective surfacing material. The posts are designed to have 24" (610 mm) in concrete.

Example: If 12 in. (305 mm) of wood mulch is used for surfacing, the footing depth would be 30 in. (762 mm).

GroundZerO® posts are footed 12 in. (305 mm) deeper than the regular support posts, and will be marked as such on the master footing diagram.

• Component footing depth equals 30 in. (762 mm) minus the depth of the protective surfacing material. The posts are designed to have 12" (305 mm) in concrete.

Example: If 12 in. (305 mm) of wood mulch is used for surfacing, the footing depth would be 18 in. (457 mm).

• Most support posts and component support legs will have either a factory-applied sticker with a line, or factory-applied mark designating the level of protective surfacing on a clear and level installation site. The footing depth measurements are based on this line/mark.

• If the play equipment is installed on uneven terrain, maintain support post mark for the protective surfacing level at the lowest grade. Adjust other footings accordingly. Support posts and all attaching decks and play components must be plumb and level.

• Do not encase the bottom of the support post in concrete. Place the post directly on packed stone or other porous material.

• The footings shown on Playworld Systems’ documentation are recommendations based on historical performance in average soil conditions. Footing dimensions may be modified by the owner based on actual soil conditions.

For example: - If local soil is loose or unstable, a larger footing may be required. - If local soil is considered stable, such as bedrock, clay or hard packed earth, a

smaller footing may be used. Before changing footing dimensions, we strongly recommend that the footings be reviewed and approved by a registered engineer.

• The base of the footing must be below the frost line.

• Assemble the entire structure before pouring concrete unless specifically instructed to do so in the installation instructions.
